The death-care companies seek to ready themselves for what stock-market analyst Steve Saltzman of the Chicago Corp. calls the "golden era" of death, the fast-approaching epoch when baby boomers begin dropping like flies. The Loewen Group is the second largest of the "consolidators," and over the past few years, the company has gained a reputation as one of the most aggressive. It bought its first...
